Hello all,

I have noticed a nordic trail , where a mapper has created a way with these 
tags:

highway=track
piste:type=nordic

The way has been created just to represent the nordic trail. In summer there is 
no track at all. There is just a meadow with no imprint or trace of the nordic 
trail. In winter of course, the local nordic sports club prepares the trail 
with special machines, and the trail is present and always located at the same 
coordinates.

I wonder if it is the right way to tag this trail with higway=track, because a 
user which wants to use the map for non-skiing purposes may think there is a 
track where one can walk on, which is not the case.

Or take it the other way round: Would it be ok just to remove the highway tag, 
and would this fullfill requirements of the open piste map guys? The wiki for 
piste:type gives no clear answer for me.

Best regards
Michael
